A couple of days before Sheamus had to fly back to Florida for an episode of Raw, Lisa woke up early in the morning with more morning sickness. This was frustrating, but nothing could break her spirit today. She had booked a 3D ultrasound as a treat for Sheamus in the afternoon. She hadn't told him about it, wanting it to be a great surprise. She had seen the baby on ultrasounds a couple of times, but Sheamus had only been able to see the printouts. She brushed her teeth after the vomit session, and got into the shower. She found herself singing "Interstate Love Song" by the Stone Temple Pilots as she showered. "Waitin', on a Sunday afternoon, for what I read between the li-iiiines!"
"Noice song choice, love!" said a voice behind her. Lisa shrieked and startled, slipping and almost falling over, only remaining upright by Sheamus grabbing her as she fell.
"WHAT THE FUCK, SHEAMUS?! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" she bellowed, face angry red.
"Love, I'm sorry! I didn't mean teh scare yeh! I didn't know yeh didn't hear me."
"Fuck! Fuck. I almost fell, that could have been really bad! Please don't ever, ever do that to me again!" She sat down hard on the bottom of the tub and started to sob. "I'm...I'm sorry! Too many emotions, I'm overwhelmed right now. Holy fuck I just want to not cry anymore. Ever. I'm sick of this emo shit!" Sheamus climbed in behind her and held her on the bottom of the tub as the spray of warm water fell on her swollen belly.
"Love, it's goin' teh be all peaches, I promise. I'm goin' teh take care of yeh and the wee sprog. We're goin' teh be jest fine. I love yeh, doll." Lisa's head shot up at that.
"What did you say?"
"I said I love yeh. I meant it too." Lisa's eyes welled up with tears again. "Whoa love, I'll take it down a notch, I'm sorry!"
"No... it's good. It's really good. I, I love you too, Sheamus." He hugged her tightly and helped her back to her feet. They had a short shower with lots of hugs and kisses and laughing. They headed out for the day in Lisa's truck. She took him to Moxie's Restaurant to eat. "Dude, the honey garlic sirloin. You gotta do it." He took her advice and they both had steak, done up medium-rare, with a stuffed baked potato and a heap of broccoli.
"Mmmmm, lass, yeh were right, this is amazin'! Haven't had steak this good in forever." They finished off the steak, and Lisa ordered a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Sheamus cocked an eyebrow.
"What? I'm eating for two!" she said with a sly smile. "Not really, I never do this, but I figured we could share." So they shared the dessert, smiling and talking until the plate was clean. Lisa sat back and rubbed her round belly. "So I have a surprise for you."
"Oh? What is it?" he asked.
"A surprise," she said with a smirk.
He shook his head and smiled, and they paid and left the restaurant. She drove to the medical building, and he gave her a funny look. "Are yeh ok?"
"Yep! Come on, it's time for your surprise!" She took him by the hand and they walked inside. He looked confused until they got into the office and saw the photographs on the wall. " I wanted you to see your son."
"My... my son. That sounds so crazy, lass! I love it!" They registered and went into a darkened room, where Lisa sprawled out on a comfortable exam table, and Sheamus sat down on a leather couch beside her. The ultrasound technician poured a glob of the blue gel on Lisa, who shivered, and then the tech turned on the screen. She pressed the wand into Lisa's belly, and immediately, a perfectly formed baby appeared on the screen. Sheamus breathed in sharply. "Oh... he's really in there!" Lisa smiled. The tech moved the wand all around, showing them the baby's face, body, feet, little hands, everything. Lisa glanced over at Sheamus to see tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Are you ok?" she asked, worried.
"Yeah love, it's jest... jest so overwhelming! It's my baby! We're havin' a baby! I'm goin' teh be a da! It's all so real now. It felt like a dream until I saw this, y'know?"
"I do know. I was the same way the first time," Lisa responded with a smile. The tech printed them out a bunch of pictures, and burned the whole session on to a dvd for them to take home. They held hands on the way out, and Lisa snuggled into Sheamus' shoulder.
"Thank yeh love. That was, that was somethin' special. And you shared it with me. Thank yeh."
"Any time, what's mine is yours, remember?" They headed back to Lisa's place for the rest of the day. Lots of snuggling and marvelling over the pictures ensued.
"Two more nights, then I hafta leave. Not lookin' forward to that, lass."
"But just think! A couple of weeks after that and I'm moving in with you! It's all happening, I'm excited and scared and happy."
"I can't wait, love! This is gonna be great. I even cleared out the big closest for yeh!" Lisa giggled, and then headed into the kitchen to start preparing her chicken caesar salad for dinner.
